I've had a lump appear down below the size of a golf ball?

[ohtheholidays]

Just like it says above,just been to the toilet(sorry TMI)and I found it uncomfortable and a bit strange when I'd finished.

I checked and straight away I felt a lump,it's really hard and the size of a golf ball,maybe a bit bigger.

I have been getting pain down below for the past 3-4 weeks but I put that down to the fact that I'd had to get some internal scans done and they'd found some fibroids on both of my fallopean tubes,one side had a few small one's and the other side had one quite large one.There's no way the lump could have been there then.

I'm not on the pill or anything like that.I have 5DC and I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year after I had our youngest DC,she's now 8 years old.

I'll be honest I haven't been back to my Dr's to get the results from the hospital,they've been intouch and told me I need to get to my Dr's,the problem was by the time the results came back our DC were broke up from school,our youngest is quite severly autistic and the thing that makes her the most anxious is Mummy having to go to the Dr's or being rushed into hospital.It happens alot,there's nothing I can do about it,I'm seriously ill and disabled now,so it's became part and parcel of my life and I can't get to the Dr's without my husbands help.

I'm going to go to the Dr's on Tuesday,I just need someone to tell me that they had the same before and it was nothing?

I'm sharing on here as I could do with some hand holding and there's no one else I can tell,I daren't tell my BF she'd fall apart with worry by next week bless her,and it would be the same with my other friends and all my female relatives.

I'd never tell any of my DC obviously.I have just told my Husband but he's been being an arse to me since yesterday so I really can't be bothered to talk to him about it.

Do you have any kind of discharge or pain in your pelvic region? I had fibroids and one prolapsed and expelled itself from my womb and was hanging in the top of my vagina - still attached to the inside of the womb by a thread. It's not very common (they took photos of mine while removing it for educational purposes)

I had a temperature and felt unwell, the discharge was clots and lumps of skin and (TMI) smelt awful. It felt like something protruding from my vagina - like a prolapse but with crampy labour like pain.

Yours very probably isn't this - but I mention it as I had to go through about 11 weeks of faffing and fobbing off before they found out what it was by which time I wa pretty ill, I wouldn't want you to go though that so worth mentioning to you GP and asking to see a gynae.

Have you no friends or neighbours who can pop in and babysit for you? No idea of the circs but it seems a shame that you have no one to help you when you may need to go to the drs when your children are not at school.

I'd not recommend a walk in centre for this type of thing, tbh. You need a proper examination and maybe a referral to a gynaecologist- ask for that. I had a mild prolapse and 2 drs dismissed it as 'nothing' until I saw someone who agreed it was there and I had an op.

Kurri Thank you I have been having pain,I haven't had any discharge,I do loose weird looking clots,some look alot like retained placenta(I had retained products after my 3rd and 5th DC)but that only happens when I have a period,it doesn't happen in between.

Oh Polly that's awful,I'm glad you managed to get it sorted out in the end.
I'd have to go to my own Dr's because my health problems and disabilitys are so complex so I need someone that know's what's going on with my health in general anyways.

No there isn't our youngest isn't only autistic she also has problems with her intestines and bowels,she has problems with her legs,feet and joints(she has to go into a wheelchair sometimes)and she has problems with her eyes.She's on the highest possible rate of DLA (which is usually really hard to get for a child so young)because her health is so bad bless her.
